Pirates Mock draft 2008

Here are the results of today's mock draft for the Pirates at Minorleagueball.com

Round 1: (2) Tim Beckham SS Georgia High School
Round 2:(48) James Darnell 3b South Carolina
Round 3:(79) Nick Mardone LHP Kentucky High School
Round 4:(114) Austin DiCharry RHP Texas High School
Round 5:(144) Brandon Miller C Georgia High School

The five players were all in the top 101 players rated by Baseball America.
I am very pleased with this draft,although the two high school pitchers could be tough signs as Mardone is a Scott Boras client and DiCharry might want second round money in order to pass on his scholarship to the Texas Longhorns.
